SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

Section 70110 of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act of 2002 

(Pub. L. 107–295, Nov. 25, 2002) 

provides that the Secretary of Homeland 

Security may impose conditions of entry 

on vessels requesting entry into the 

United States arriving from ports that 

are not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures. The Coast Guard 

has been delegated the authority by the 

Secretary to carry out the provisions of 

this section. The Docket contains 

previous notices imposing or removing 

conditions of entry on vessels arriving 

from certain countries and those 

conditions of entry and the countries 

they pertain to remain in effect unless 

modified by this notice. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

ports in Syria are not maintaining 

effective anti-terrorism measures. 

Accordingly, effective March 20, 2008 

the Coast Guard will impose the 

following conditions of entry on vessels 

that visited ports in Syria during their 

last five port calls. Vessels must: 

• Implement measures per the ship’s 

security plan equivalent to Security 

level 2 while in a port in the above 

country; 

• Ensure that each access point to the 

ship is guarded and that the guards have 

total visibility of the exterior (both 

landside and waterside) of the vessel 

while the vessel is in ports in the above 

country. Guards may be provided by the 

ship’s crew, however, additional 

crewmembers should be placed on the 

ship if necessary to ensure that limits on 

maximum hours of work are not 

exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest 

are met, or provided by outside security 

forces approved by the ship’s master 

and Company Security Officer; 

• Attempt to execute a Declaration of 

Security while in a port in the above 

country; 

• Log all security actions in the ship’s 

log; 

• Report actions taken to the 

cognizant U.S. Coast Guard Captain of 

the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters; 

and 

• Ensure that each access point to the 

ship is guarded by armed, private 

security guards and that they have total 

visibility of the exterior (both landside 

and waterside) of the vessel while in 

U.S. ports. The number and position of 

the guards has to be acceptable to the 

cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the 

Port prior to the vessel’s arrival. 

With this notice, the current list of 

countries not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures is as follows: 

Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, GuineaBissau, Indonesia, Liberia, Mauritania, 

and Syria. 

Dated: February 29, 2008.
